Sin City

[remi07]

I can't wait til this movie comes out. The preveiws looks so awesome. The only thing that bothers me is that there's about 30 "big-name" celbrities in this film. I don't know why it bothers me but it does. Its just not necessary.
So anyway, Is anyone else out there wanting to see it, because I feel like the only one. Everyone i've asked about it at school said they think it looks stupid. :(

[Miriel]

...I CAN'T WAIT!

Seriously, it's easily my most anticipated movie for this year. Film noir, film noir! *implodes with excitement*


And I love that fact that there's so many celebrities in this thing. Looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

[XxSephirothxX]

Considering it's based on a Frank Miller graphic novel, and is co-directed by him, it's looking awesome. Plus, I've read one review, which was 4/5 stars. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

[Strider]

Robert Rodriguez is one of my personal heroes. I've been waiting eagerly since I heard about this movie a year ago. *glee*

[kikimm]

I'm definitley checking this out. It looks different, and that's something I've been craving for awhile. I'll be very disappointed if I end up not liking it; I, too, have been looking forward to this for some time.


:D

Actually, Frank Miller didn't co-direct Sin City, although he's credited as a co-directer. Robert Rodriquez directed the entire film, except a scene directed by Quentin Tarantino. Frank Miller is just credited because Robert Rodriquez credits Miller's visual style in the comic as relevant as his own in the film... Therefore Rodriquez insisted that Miller would be credited as co-director.

Anyway, I'm looking so much forward to this film. I don't think I've been looking this much forward to a film since Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2. Both Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez are brilliant directors.

[Sephex]

My dad is into a lot of comic book series, and I know he reads Sin City. For awhile now, my dad takes me to see comic book based movies, so I'll end up seeing this one way or another.

[edczxcvbnm]

I downloaded the preview for my dad to see. We will probably see it sometime this weekend. Probably after we get some new golf clubs. It has some awesome action directors. It had better be awesome. I don't expect to be disappointed. The Mariachi trilogy is great as well as Kill Bill and other Tarantio movies.

*gets hyped*

[Sephex]

It's been getting great reviews, so far. Either the Tribune or Sun-Times gave it four stars.

[edczxcvbnm]

Tribune or the Sun Times...that like saying Satan(Sun) or God(Trib) gave it 4 stars man...I hate Ebert.

[Miriel]

I think this movie is getting glowing reviews across the board. In fact the reviews over at aintitcool.com are pratically orgasmic over the film. But yeah, Ebert just needs to stop, silly decrepit old man.

[Strider]

I'm gonna go see it with my dad on Saturday, about as hyped for it as I'm ever gonna be for any movie.

And yeah, I echo everyone else's sentiments about Roger Ebert.

[Del Murder]

It's something different, and I like that. I've always heard good things about the comic series. I might check it out.

[The Captain]

I met Jessica Alba a long, long time ago, before she become famous on Dark Angel, so I suppose I'll see it because of that connection.

It also does look very interesting, especially with its gritty yet fantastical noir appearance.

Take care all.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I'd link to this site with a bunch of comparisons between shots in the movie and actual panels from the comic showing how close the movie is to the source material, but there are tits and as you know I'm interested in keeping this a family forum.

[nik0tine]

I think it's gonna be another 'Catwoman'.

[The Captain]

I hope not. The look of the film, at least, is unique enough to keep it from completely being a waste of money and talent in my opinion, but we shall see.

Maybe it's just me, but I've found it very hard to picture Ms. Alba with anything but dark hair, so seeing her new blonde look shocked me quite a bit.

Take care all.

[Rase]

I would very much like to see this, but, unfortunatly, I make it a point not to watch rated R movies. The only one I have seen is the Passion of the Christ. However, it looks good, which makes me sadder. :(

[My name is...something..?]

This movie is freaking great! From the second the movie started this movie had me hooked.
The style and presentation were sweet, the action was awesome(you can tell Quentin Tarentino helped with the action), and the story just pulled me in.
So, I think it's obvious that I liked it. What did you guys think of it?

[Dingo Jellybean]

There's another thread on this movie.

Anyways, for the question at hand...I think Sin City looks "okay." I haven't really anticipated a movie since Matrix Reloaded, so eh.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Threads merged.

And yes.

[Miriel]

SO. AWESOME.

Just came back from the theater, and I'm still whirling from what I just saw. All I can say is that this film is explosive.

And yeesh, it certainly earned it's R rating.

Loved the cheesy dialogue, loved the crazy cool characters, loved how perfectly every frame was composed, and shot.

And Miho, holy fem fatale batman, she was insane. I thought that Marv had the most engaging story, and I invested in him more than anyone else. I loved the raw, primal and fierce storyline of Gail and Dwight and the sick twisted one of Kevin and Yellow Bastard. I really can't find a weak link in ANY of the characters. Even the ones with incredibly small screentime were fan-friggen-tastic (The guy with the swastika on his head sent me into a giggling fit).

I had to look away a few times cause some of the violence was just too much (particularly at the very end when Hartigan takes away Yellow Bastard's..."weapon"). But other times the violence was just so hysterical in it's extremity (ie: when Marv goes on his rampage).

Loved it, can't stop thinking about it, never seen anything like it.

One complaint I might have is the the editing could've been a bit tighter. I noticed people fidgeting toward the end when things began to slow down rather than pick up (although the film sorta steamrolls it's way through the story so that even at the end, things aren't exactly "slow").

The movie is relentless. I wouldn't advise anyone shy of violence and sex to watch this movie. There's also a LOT of laughs in this movie, more than you'd think.

If you go into this wanting something realistic, you're in for a helluva let down. It's campy, it's fun, it's over-the-top.

The actors are relishing it, and the audience should too.

It's one wild ride, that's for sure.

[Necronopticous]

Well said, I had a great time. One of the best films I've seen in months.

[nik0tine]

Maybe i'll have to give this movie a shot? I haven't seen a movie in quite a while, so maybe it's time I went and saw one.

[Seifer]

Superb. That's all I have to say. This is what movies based off of comics should be. Done to a tee.

[SeeDRankLou]

Very very good movie in every manner. I recommend it to everyone.

[Strider]

Just got back from the movie, and I wasn't disappointed. Great, great film.

[kikimm]

I just got back as well. I'd have to say it's one of the worst films I've ever seen.

In my opinion, the whole thing was extremely distasteful; I thought it was going to be classy, noir, from I saw of the trailers. On the contrary, it was totally disgusting and repulsive. I really, really, didn't want to see anyone's "weapon" get ripped off with hands, or see a dog eat its old master, (who was a cannibal, as we saw) or have to watch about half the actors covered in blood the entire time. :) It seemed to bring out all the worst in humans. I'm not the squeamish kinda girl at all, but this crossed the line.

Perhaps this was because of my never reading the comic, but the three stories didn't seem connected at all (besides the Nancy bit), which was disappointing, and boring. Josh Hartnett popping in and out for no apparent reason didn't help.

I did like Clive Owen and Bruce Willis, as they played their parts great, and I'll definitley agree that the way it was filmed was great.

Other than that, the whole experience, for me, was disgusting. But you know, it's just a movie, and it really....doesn't matter.


:D

[Necronopticous]

It's unfortunate that it wasn't enjoyable for you. Personally, I am very happy to see a film that doesn't hold back whatsoever, but I can very easily see how this movie can just be plain disgusting to someone else.

I guess that's what I like about it.

[failureBYdesign]

this movie was awesome, although i expected better from it after seeing their kickass trailer. its still worth watching.

to not get any spoilers out, all you really need to know is that your either gonna love it or hate it.

[Sephex]

My friends and I saw it last night (with my dad as I predicted). We all had a good time watching the movie. Very interesting and funny. I can see why a few critics didn't like it ,though. My dad, who reads the comics (like I said), said it was very close to comic.

[Caspian]

I thought it was freakin' amazing.

Except for one particular line.

"You fool! You poor fool!"

So dumb.

[crazybayman]

Saw it this past weekend.....

Lotsa Titty 'n' a$$, lotsa violence.

In other words, GREAT FLICK. :D

Seriously though, good movie, quite funny in parts. My girlfriend didn't like it too much though, haha.

[zimmunky]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Man everytime Tarentino and Rodriguez team up, its freaking gold to me. Add Miller in there and man, it was so much better than I expected. Im gonna watch it again soon.

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

I've been reading up on this movie and im pretty excited about it mostly about its style but for that amount of actors to be sharing the screen at one time, it must seem like a bloody good movie or a hell of a flop but seriously considering how it looks to closely follow the comic, i wouldnt mind giving this movie a shot. Personally i havent read the comics but i guess people who didnt know about the comic didnt know what they were in for i guess imean seriously would you go into the movie knowing that beadings, castrations, nudity, rape, cannibalsim were all part of its contents!

Tarintino only directed ONE scene in the movie btw, apparently in a crucial one but indeed i'd imagine the action and humour would have somewhat of an influence of a directer of his calaber!

But yeah really excited! cant wait!

[Miriel]

QT directed the bizarre conversation between Dwight and Rafferty as they were driving to the Pits.

It's a funny scene. :)

[edczxcvbnm]

Not only did he direct the scene...he got paid a WHOLE DOLLAR! Thats like 100 cents!

[remi07]

Loved the movie! It was almost everything i wanted it to be.
But can anyone explain to me the scenes that Josh Hartnett were in because I can't find the connection it has to the rest of the film, except that he talks to Alexis Blendel's character. Maybe a sequel is in the progress.

[Captain Maxx Power]

Despite the fact it contains Bruce Willis, I'm really not overly interested in this movie. Then again the only movie I'm really primed to see is probably Episode III of the Star Wars variety.
